Heating and cooling in buildings and industry are responsible for half of energy consumption in Europe. They have also put a severe pressure on the Norwegian electricity grid. There is a lot of waste heat released from data centres and other industrial processes in Norway, which is poorly mapped and utilized.
While our outlook is global, a lot of our research is focused on the Stavanger region. Several regional muncipalities have smart city and sustainable development as priority areas.
Spring of 2019, a wind turbine was lifted into place and installed on the Ullandhaug campus. Solar cells have already been installed. The turbine and solar cells are part of a laboratory that will produce energy from solar and wind. Students, researchers and the business community can study the energy mix produced at the lab.
This research network performs interdisciplinary research for smart sustainable urban development and collaborates closely with regional, national, and international players.
